Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you're looking for information about a specific player and don't see their name in this article, there probably haven't been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza.

Ryan Getzlaf – A lower-body injury kept Anaheim's captain sidelined during Sunday's game against the Sharks. He was on the ice for Tuesday morning's skate ahead of Anaheim's clash with Chicago, but he left the skate early and didn't end up playing against the Blackhawks. I guess he's day-to-day until we hear otherwise.

Isac Lundestrom – Missed Tuesday's game against the Blackhawks as he did not travel to Chicago for the first game of Anaheim's five-game road trip. He's dealing with a lower-body injury. 

Josh Manson – Was a full participant in Tuesday morning's skate and there's a good chance he returns to the lineup for Thursday's game against Nashville. A finger injury has kept him sidelined for the past month.

Matt Grzelcyk – Was on the ice for Monday's morning skate but left early because of an upper-body injury. Grzelcyk was a game-time decision ahead of Monday's game against the Kings, and although he didn't play, the fact that his status was decided so close to puck-drop suggests his injury isn't too serious.

Frederik Andersen – Wasn't available for Sunday's game against Seattle because of an undisclosed injury which isn't serious – likely a day-to-day ailment. As I write this, he hasn't been ruled out of Thursday's clash with Colorado.

Adam Boqvist – The Blue Jackets defenseman is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice, so I don't expect he'll be available against the Islanders on Thursday.

Miro Heiskanen – A non-COVID illness caused him to miss Dallas' last three games, but he's expected to suit up for their next contest, against the Rangers on Saturday.

Mike Smith – Has been sidelined with the stomach flu recently. His status for Wednesday's clash with the Capitals hasn't been determined as I write this.

Evan Bouchard – Has been sidelined with the stomach flu recently. Bouchard was a game-time decision ahead of Monday's clash with Calgary, and although he didn't play, the fact that he was a game-time decision suggests he was close to being ready. As such, I'd say there's a good chance he returns against Washington on Wednesday.

Tyson Barrie – The Oilers defenseman is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He was recently placed on injured reserve, which requires him to sit out for at least a week. Barrie won't be eligible to play against the Capitals on Wednesday but can play against Tampa on Saturday if he's feeling up to it. 

Zack Kassian – Fully participated in Sunday's practice while wearing a full-cage helmet. Kassian should be back in the lineup at some point in March, with a return expected in another week or two. He's been sidelined for the past month because of a fractured jaw.

Anton Lundell – The rookie sensation is day-to-day with a lower-body injury that isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't keep him out for too long. He has 38 points in 52 games this season, which translates to 60 points in 82 games.

Viktor Arvidsson – The Kings forward is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. As I write this, his status for Thursday's game against San Jose is up in the air.

Alexander Edler – General Manager Rob Blake hopes to have the 35-year-old defenseman back by the end of March. Edler broke his ankle in December and has been sidelined since.  

Jeff Petry – The Canadiens defenseman is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He wasn't taking any contact during Monday's practice, which suggests he may not be available for Wednesday's clash with the Canucks.

Andrew Hammond – Was recently placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. It's a tough break for Hammond, who was seeing his first NHL action in four years. He was 3-0 with the Habs, sporting a 2.40 GAA and .920 save percentage.

Christian Dvorak – Practiced with the team on Monday and Tuesday, but wasn't taking any contact. Dvorak has been day-to-day with an upper-body injury for some time now. The team said he's not dealing with a concussion, but perhaps this injury is of a similar nature – in the sense that progress isn't linear and the medical staff just has to see how he's feeling each day.

Jonathan Drouin – Was on the ice for practice on Monday and Tuesday but wasn't taking any contact. In late January, the team announced that Drouin would be sidelined indefinitely with a wrist injury. Hopefully Drouin's able to return soon so we see what he's capable of under coach Martin St. Louis' guidance.

Jake Allen – Practiced with the team on Monday. On January 21^st, the team announced that Allen would miss eight weeks with a lower-body injury. There's still about a week left in that original timetable.

Joel Edmundson – Was on the ice for practice on Monday and Tuesday but wasn't taking any contact. As such, I don't expect he'll be available for Wednesday's clash with the Canucks. Edmundson hasn't played yet this season because of a back injury.

Carey Price – Has been doing some on-ice work recently, skating a few times over the past week. According to GM Kent Hughes, it's still possible Price returns this season.

Mark Borowiecki – The 32-year-old defenseman is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Reports indicate he'll be back soon, so don't be surprised if he plays against the Ducks on Thursday.

Nico Hischier – Was listed as 'questionable' ahead of Tuesday's clash with Colorado and ultimately didn't play. Hischier has been battling through a lower-body injury for the past few games and needed the night off. You wouldn't have been able to tell he was injured based on his recent play as the 23-year-old center has tallied 14 points in his last 11 appearances.

Mathew Barzal – Has been skating on his own recently but there's no concrete timetable for his return. He's been 'day-to-day' with a lower-body injury for almost two weeks now.

Kaapo Kakko – When asked about Kakko on March 3^rd, coach Gerard Gallant said the young forward would be out for at least a few more weeks. Kakko has been sidelined with an upper-body injury since January 21^st.

Matt Murray – Hasn't been available for Ottawa's last two games because of an undisclosed injury. He was recently placed on injured reserve, which comes with a mandatory absence of one week. Murray won't be eligible to play against Seattle on Thursday and I don't think he'll be able to start against Chicago on Saturday. Anton Forsberg has taken over starting duties in Murray's absence. Forsberg is quietly having a solid season in Ottawa, posting a 2.69 GAA and .921 save percentage through 27 appearances.

Mike Matheson – Was on the ice for Tuesday's practice, although he wasn't taking any contact. On February 25^th, the team announced that Matheson was week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Jason Zucker – Has been skating on his own and working with the team's skill coach recently. Zucker has been sidelined since late-January – when he underwent a procedure to repair a core muscle injury.

James Reimer – The Sharks netminder is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Reimer sports a 15-12-5 record this season, with a 2.87 GAA and .916 save percentage.

Adin Hill – When speaking to the media on Tuesday, Hill said he was feeling better than last week, but still not at 100%. He was labelled day-to-day with a lower-body injury on January 26^th and has been sidelined ever since. I'd say it's unlikely he starts against the Kings on Thursday.

Erik Karlsson – Coach Bob Boughner hopes to have Karlsson back in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Kings. Karlsson has been sidelined since January 24^th, when he underwent surgery on his forearm.

Pavel Buchnevich – Entered concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during Tuesday's game against the Senators. Buchnevich seemed fine according to coach Craig Berube, so we'll see if the Blues forward is available for Thursday's clash with the Rangers.

Rasmus Sandin – An illness has kept him out of Toronto's past few games, but he was on the ice for Tuesday's optional skate and should return soon.

Jake Muzzin – Has been doing some skating and shooting on his own recently. Muzzin is on long-term injured reserve, which means he has to miss at least 10 games and 24 days of action, so he isn't eligible to return until March 18^th. He's dealing with his second concussion of the season, so the team is likely to be cautious with his recovery.

Brayden McNabb – Was recently placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed ailment. Last we heard, McNabb was getting some imaging done to learn more about the injury. The team hasn't given a substantial update on his status just yet, but hopefully one will be released soon.

Nolan Patrick – Was on the ice and cleared for contact during Tuesday morning's skate. He'd been skating in a no-contact jersey recently, so the fact that he's able to take contact now is a big step in the right direction. Patrick has been sidelined since taking a hit to the head on February 16^th. Recovering from a head injury is an unpredictable process, so it's tough to say exactly when he'll be back. I expect the Golden Knights will be extra cautious with Patrick's recovery as he has a history of concussions and was diagnosed with a migraine disorder a few years ago.
